Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The distribution of adipic acid in a "unit world" was calculated according to the Mackay fugacity model level I (Currenta, 2009) based on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartment for adipic acid is water with 97.89%, followed by air with 2.09 %, and minor amounts for soil and sediment.
